UNSPSC 50373100: Canned or jarred organic figs

The type of organic fruit known as organic figs that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50373100 Canned or jarred organic figs is a Class code that does not reflect what state and local governments are actually soliciting under this taxonomy designation. Recent opportunities posted under this code primarily seek canned and jarred fruits—applesauce, pears, and fresh produce—for institutional food service at correctional facilities, schools, and state health agencies, rather than organic figs specifically. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections, independent school districts, boards of education, and state health and human services commissions across multiple states. State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and various school districts including Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI School District, and Douglas County School System appear as repeat buyers of canned and institutional food products. The work solicited involves supplying standardized, shelf-stable canned fruit products in bulk quantities—typically 4,000 to 5,000+ cases per procurement—delivered to central warehouses, school nutrition centers, and state facility distribution points on fixed-price contracts running twelve months or longer.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois, with school districts and state agencies across the Southeast and Upper Midwest posting multiple overlapping solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (canned applesauce, 4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 (dried fruit bars and apple crisps, due July 16, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 (fresh produce including over 200 line items, due June 26, 2026). Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables statewide, with HHS0017449 covering food products for state supported living centers (due July 13, 2026, estimated historical value $1.5 million annually) and HHS0016792V2 encompassing 210 line items for state hospitals and living centers (maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years). Contracts typically demand firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, Buy American compliance, USDA grade or commodity specification adherence, and commercial liability insurance minimums of $1 million per occurrence. School districts apply NUTRIKIDS electronic bidding systems and reserve award discretion across single or multiple vendors on line-item bases.
